Vitamin K2 (K2 Vital)
Information
Essential High Potency Vitamin K2 Vegetarian Capsules (One a Day)
Weston A Price, the famous dentist and natural health pioneer, whilst travelling amongst the worlds differing populations in the early part of the last century discovered that those eating traditional diets seemed far less prone to killer diseases and tooth decay. He speculated that some nutrient (as yet unknown to him) was at work. We now are pretty sure that it was Vitamin K2; officially "discovered" in 1929 by German scientists.
Vitamin K2 is accumulating a sizeable body of clinical evidence illuminating its vital importance in combating 2 of the most common chronic diseases of our age; osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is amongst the top killer diseases on the planet and both diseases are now clinically proven to be connected with Vitamin K2 deficiency.

CAUTION
Vitamin K2 supplements interfere with the activity of oral anticoagulants such as Warfarin. Those who are using Warfarin (or similar oral anticoagulants) should only use vitamin K2 supplements with the knowledge of their prescribing health professional. People on oral anticoagulants will likely be advised to limit their K2 intake to amounts typically found in the diet. Otherwise, there is no known toxicity associated with vitamin K2.
